| As funny as Lucy was on TV, co-workers say that she was awfully good at giving them this look. It was usually followed by extensive cursing. |
This week on the OTR Express, we hear the climax to the "My Favorite Husband" program. (Or for those who grew up in the TV era - "That Old Radio Show That Sounds A Lot Like 'I Love Lucy'"). We'll also have some good discussions about how many similarities there really were between the two programs.
Then we'll hear a detective show that I stumbled across in the last couple of years, and has turned out to be one of my favorite detective shows, from the characterizations, to the acting, to the no-easy-way-out script. Unfortunately, this show - "Crime on the Waterfront" - didn't last long enough to even use the verb "last"... after a pilot show, it never got picked up by the sponsors. You'll have to listen in the to show to know whether the failure of this show ruined the career of its leading man.
Enjoy this week's old time radio!
